Woodrich TimberOil
The Easiest Stain to Apply that we offer!
Extremely easy to apply. Even first time users can expect perfect results. Absolutely will not overlap, run or leave drip marks. Dives deep to replenish old dry wood. Loaded with transoxide pigments providing much better coverage than other paraffinic stains. Ideal for annual maintenance coats. FREE SHIPPING on every 5 Gallon pail!
If you have ever worked with paraffinic based wood stains, The Woodrich Brand Timber Oil will have a familiar ease of use. No matter what application method you choose, it is impossible to cause any lap marks or runs. Even Homeowners who have never worked with wood at all can achieve a beautiful finish their very first try with this easy to use product.
For those who have used other paraffinic based products in the past, the most striking difference with The Woodrich Brand Timber Oil is quality. Boasting extremely high pigment content The Woodrich Brand Timber Oil will not color shift or “fade out” like other products. The Woodrich Brand Timber Oil is also loaded down with enough antifungal agents to knock out any existing mold and mildew spores and help prevent new growth for several years even in the most challenging environments.
Our anti-fungal package has been “jungle tested” and proven effective against over 250 known sources of mold and mildew.
What this means to you is greater protection from less product. In fact, you can expect to use about 20% less product to achieve the same results you get from other brands. This may not mean much on a 12’x12′ deck, but it will add up to thousands of dollars over the year for a contractor.
When you apply The Woodrich Brand Timber Oil you will see the rich oils dive deep into the wood, replenishing it and occupying the voids that may otherwise trap moisture. Replenishing old dry wood will help to dramatically extend it’s service life. Even old neglected wood siding will be rejuvenated by the deep conditioning oils.
How much stain would I need for an approximate 22 x 22 deck? Thanks
3-5 gallons.
What is the shelf life? (can I store it for future coats in a couple years if there is leftover?)
About 2-3 years if unopened. 12 months if opened.
I put Sherwin Williams semi transparent (water based) stain/sealer applied on my deck two years ago. Will this oil work on top of that after a good cleaning?
No, you must remove the current stain fully first.
Oh no – Have I made a mistake by applying the Sherwin Wms version of stain? Why does your stain not work on a previous faded stain from two years ago?
No penetrating stain can work over a stain of a different brand. You will have to remove if using a new brand of stain or stick with the same.
While applying timber oil to our deck, I got a spot of oil on our brick. Is there any product that you can recommend to remove the spot?
Use a graffiti remover and pressure washer.
What are your thoughts about applying this to a new deck? If it’s good for that, how long would you wait after the new cedar decking is laid down to apply?
Works great for new wood. About 1-2 months to weather and then prep first.
is this a semi transparent stain?
Yes.
Which brand has the most oil in it? We find that linseed oil base lasts much longer than commercial stains.
No linseed in the TimberOil. Look at Armstrong Clark: https://www.opwdecks.com/armstrong-clark-stain.htm
Is this the same product as Timber Oil Deep Penetrating Wood Stain?
Yes.
What zip code are you shipping from? I’d like to calculate approximate ground shipping time.
Bloomfield Hills, MI 48302.
Can I apply Timber Oil to a deck that was previously treated with the Woodrich Stain and Seal? Do I need to prep the deck any differently or can I just apply over top once the deck has been cleaned?
The S&S will need to be removed first. Use this: https://www.opwdecks.com/restore-a-deck-stain-stripper.htm
I stained my cedar deck almost 6 years ago using Woodrich Timber Oil (Amaretto) and had enough of the unsealed product left over that I am looking at re-staining this month. Can I simply prep the deck by washing it and then use the restore-a-deck cleaner and brightener prior to re-staining with the Woodrich? Thank you.
Use the RAD Cleaner first and then pressure wash off. When done, apply Brightener and rinse that after 10 minutes.
Great, thanks! I stand corrected, the remaining Woodrich product is unopened/sealed.
One more question. The RAD brightener requires 48 hrs before applying stain. There is a good chance of rain in the forecast at this period. Is it still acceptable to stain after the weather clears up without any further treatment? Thank you.
Yes but you will need to let it dry for 48 hours after any rain.
Our deck is new cedar, built on a base if treated lumber. We selected the color “Western Cedar” for the cedar decking, to match the color of the treated lumber. Which color should we choose for the treated lumber base so it will darken as little as possible? Thanks
Warm Honey Gold is the lightest tint.
can i stain over woodrich timber oil with tpw 100 or do i need to completely strip off. cleaned and brightened all ready.
You will need to strip it.
I have had a cedar deck installed in November of 2017. My question is the decking is nailed (counter sunk with nail gun). Is it normal to fill and sand these nail holes? What type of filler is recommended?
Hello, you cannot fill nail holes and then stain. It will not work or blend. No advantage to doing this either.
I see pricing for the one gallon wood rich stain. What is the price for the five gallon pail?

[quote name=”dbmitchell”]Can you s email color chip on the Amaretto, getting ready to place order. Thank you.[/quote]
Hello,
We do not have a color chip but we do offer a small sample bottle:

Can you s email color chip on the Amaretto, getting ready to place order. Thank you.
[quote name=”Db mitchell”]I have a new deck going with timber oil, can you recommend two contrast colors, one for the decking, the other for bench seating and pergula. Can you send color choices. Thank you.[/quote]
The largest contrast would be between Western Cedar and Warm Honey Gold. You can try samples here:

I have a new deck going with timber oil, can you recommend two contrast colors, one for the decking, the other for bench seating and pergula. Can you send color choices. Thank you.
About two years. Little longer for the railings.
What is the expected durability of the product on a deck and railings?
Thanks in advance
You should let the wood dry out for a couple of weeks then prep lightly with the Restore a Deck Kit.
Hello,
Could you tell me the best possible method to staining brand new cedar? We want to stain the material before it is installed and we’d like to order the timber oil stain. Do we need to first clean and prep the wood? If so, what do we need to do that? Thank you!
We would spray on with a pump sprayer then lightly back brush the second coat.
What application method do you recommend for the Timber Oil? I have a large barn to complete and have considered trying a pump sprayer or airless sprayer but want a good finish and will use a brush if that’s what it takes. It will be applied to rough cut yellow pine.
Look at the Brown Sugar color in the Timber Oil or TWP Pecan color.
I have a barn covered with new rough cut yellow pine which has been treated with linseed oil. Which product would you recommend that will retain the current look of the wood or make it a light to medium brown color.
Becky, there is not a deeper brown in the Timber Oil. Colors are on this page.
How/where can I see samples of the color options for the timber oil. I need a deeper brown without any orange, yellow or red undertones. Would that be the brown sugar? Thx!!
You need to clean and brighten new wood for prep with the Restore A Deck Kit. Samples on this page: http://www.opwdecks.com/wood-stain-samples.htm
Do you have samples of timber oil brand? Also, do you recommend using a brightner on a new deck after waiting the required time for staining? As of now, some of the wood is dark and some light. How do we compensate so it doesn’t look like a patchwork quilt?
Wait a month and prep first with the Restore A Deck Kit. Warm Honey Gold is more popular than the Western Cedar.
Just installed a western red cedar deck this week. how long should be left prior to using timberoil? and secondly. do people typically purchase the western cedar color o apply to cedar? I have some beautiful planks ranging from dark brown all the way to nearly white and would like to keep some of that contrast. Thanks!
TimberOil does not have linseed oil in it.
Does Timber OIl have LInseed in it? I just stripped Woodguard off our home and what a chore! It darkened over the years and I am looking to avoid this again. Looking for something that stays a lighter color.
Lana, 100-200 sq, feet per gallon.
About how many square feet does a gallon of timber oil cover?
Timber Oil in amaretto has now been added to the stain color menu and my order has been placed. Thanks for the quick fix Scott.
None of the individual colors in the sample kit really appealed to me, either too much gold or too much red. I mixed equal parts amaretto and brown sugar and found that combo to be just right. More earthy with a slightly red undertone. It’s going to be applied to a cedar deck that was completed 2 months ago.
The sample kit is the way to go if you’re undecided about the stain color of your deck. 🙂
Sorry, I should have re-read your post. Thanks for answering my question re the sample kit.
Thanks for the reply. Once again, the Woodrich stain sample kit is of Wood Tux. Can I expect the same finished hue if I order Timber Oil? Also, amaretto does not appear in the drop down menu when selecting stain color. Do I need to phone in my order? Thanks.
Sai
Sai, colors are the same between versions. You can mix colors to achieve a desired color.
I used the sample kit and mixed two colors, amaretto and brown sugar and am happy with the final outcome. Can I expect the same finished results by combining colors instead of just using one? Also, the sample kit that I received was Wood Tux not Timber Oil (as specified) and wondered if there is any difference between the two with respect to color/pigment?
Yes it would work well you you. I would get one of the 5 gallon pails for this sized deck.
How would TimberOil work in Virginia Beach, Virginia (U.S. mid-atlantic coast. Summer temps here are @ 90 -100 degrees F.I have about 20×20 foot deck + solid skirt (24 inches high) + slat rails. How many gallon would I need.
No need as the stain is a sealer as well
So, on brand new deck (pine, I think):
1) after 4-12 months prep w/ deck cleaner and brightener
2) apply timber oil brand stain
3) do I need to seal after stain is applied??
I am not sure why you are mentioning zinc napthalate. That is not in this product. I think you have the wrong stain.
This weekend I saw my neighbor brushing this transparent wood preservative on his PT fence and asked him about it. He told me that it would last 3 years and that you could stain or paint over once it dried. Any truth to this? It smelled pretty bad and was not be used around any living plants.
I plan on using TimberOil on my cedar deck but was wondering if there were any other benefits to the zinc napthalate besides preventing mildew, mold, etc….
Yes it is compliant for Canada.
I have just completed replanking a deck with new cedar 2 x 6’s up here in Alberta, Canada and have read many positive comments regarding the attributes of TimberOil. I will hold off staining the deck for approx 1-2 months. Is this product VOC compliant here in Canada?
Both are semi-transparent stains that will last about the same. The TimberOil will apply easier to new wood though. Shelf life is about 1 year on opened pails.
